Concurrent validity

studies and other things for standardized instruments, however, when looking at the whole using several methods in research will provide better clearer results and instead of focusing on just one method maybe more than one should be used because the validity and reliability may have more conclusive…

similarities between the behavior shown by the animal model and the particulars symptoms of the human condition (Geyer and Markou 1995; Moreau 2002; Lyon 2004) .The face validity of animal model of depression is a determination of the models capability to replicate core symptoms of the disease (Mitchell and Redfern, 2005). In using the face validity of animal models of depression, anhedonia as a result assumes an important position. Anhedonia is also a most important symptom of psychosis. In…

LAZY ARGUING Sea World’s attempt to refute the documentary “Blackfish” was so disappointing. It did not just fail; it crashed and burned. “Blackfish” is a documentary that shows the psychological and physical harm Sea World is doing to their Killer whales by keeping them in a confined space. The Documentary also demonstrates the danger Sea World is putting their trainers in by having them work with their killer whales. In response Sea World published, on their website, an article titled…

A panel of experts is needed to review the instrument, and determined the validity and reliability. The group discussion was an example of panel of experts, who determined the content of validity and reliability between the items composing in the instrument. The reliability was conducted before the expert panel review, which for this assignment were my classmates. The panel of experts…

Gensler: Divine Command Theory Gensler’s main argument for the Divine Command Theory is to argue the moral reasons for the existence of God. He gives the premises that everyone knows objective moral duties. Then comes the idea that if there are objective moral duties there has to be something that makes them moral law. For this the only answer that makes sense is God because it cannot be a person or other individuals in society since we do not have the authority to tell someone is they do…

Conclusion Validity 4. External Validity The first type of validity is Internal Validity. “Internal Validity is the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships” (Trochim, 2006). You would not use Internal Validity for an observational study but Internal Validity would be appropriate to assess a social program’s effectiveness. You want to know that your program is successful…

0236566 In this squib, I criticize Norcross’ argument for the claim that Fred would still be acting immoral if he hired someone else to torture the puppies. I then argue that the second premise of Norcross’ target argument is false by providing an objection. My objection shows that there is a situation in which the action itself is immoral, but hiring someone to do it is not immoral. Now I will present Norcross’ target argument in standard form, for the claim that hiring someone else to torture…

In “Daily stress and coping styles in adolescent hopelessness depression: Moderating effects of gender,” Rodriguez-Naranjo and Caño aimed to link daily stress and coping styles as factors contributing to HD in adolescence.…

The next validity to check would be the external validity. The definition of external validity by Paul C. Cozby and Scott C. Bates (2015), in their book Methods in Behavioral Research would be to see if the study can be generalized and applied to other populations. The study was mostly conducted on Caucasians, however, the studied would still be able to be applied to others since it is dealing with the effects of parenting which can be applied to all (Cozby & Bates 2015). The final validity is…

assessment, I really focused on what we learned throughout the semester such as having a variety of question types, reaching more than one level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, straying from giving clues within my questions, and accounting for bias, reliability, validity, and diverse learners. I started out by choosing a lesson that would be a bit easier to put into a written test form (considering art classes are most commonly based on performance). So, I chose photography because there are a lot of…
